[QUOTE="showmomof2, post: 742450, member: 6546"] I wish you all the luck in the world. We just went through this with my daughters heifer that she showed last year. She had just calved and somehow fell down a steep slope. When we found her she was down. We have no idea what happened, but don't believe it was due to calving as the calf had nursed. After a couple of days, we had a neighbor with a tractor help us move her to our house under a covered shed. We used hip lifts and a horse girth to support her. We finally gave up on her and had her put down, but she was never crawling. She did kick alot but we couldn't get her up. To make matters worse, we lost the calf after feeding him for 2 weeks. I wish you the best of luck with yours and if you can keep her dry and comfortable and eating and drinking, it's worth a try. [/QUOTE]
